Daily Motivator for December 12th – Give care

Give care

If all you care about is what’s in it for you, there won’t be much in it for  you. If all you care about is what other people think of you, people won’t think  very highly of you.

What you care about has a powerful impact on the way your life unfolds. So  instead of caring so much about what you think you need, put your energy into  caring for all that you have.

You have life, and great possibilities, and other people with whom to enjoy  it all. You have a universe filled with beauty and wonder, and the opportunity  to create new meaning and value.

Give loving care, attention, gratitude and support to the abundance with  which your world is filled. Take good care of the good things, and they will  grow even more beneficial.

Give care, focused thought, attention and awareness to whatever you’re doing,  and whatever you’re doing will bring meaningful, valuable results. Give your  care to making a difference, and continually put that care into action.

Lift up life by caring for it. Give true care, and the rewards are  immense.

Daily Motivator for November 18 – When You Care

When you care

The way to be strong is to care. The way to be informed is to care, and to do  something about what you care about.

The way to be competent, effective, persuasive, inspiring and successful is  to care about what you’re doing. Life responds in a positive way when you take a  real, authentic interest and invest yourself in it.

It isn’t what you’re doing that determines whether you’re wasting your time.  It’s how much care you put into what you’re doing that matters.

When you make the task meaningful, it will be meaningful. When you truly  care, and act on what you care about, you’re able to create value in any  situation.

Do what you care about, and care about what you do. Be a real, live, genuine,  original person, and not just an automaton.

Give care to each moment, each task, each person, and each experience. Life’s  best possibilities are fulfilled when you truly care.

— Ralph Marston

The Daily Motivator

Sincerely caring

Sincerely caring

It’s very easy to say you care, and even to look like you care. It’s much more difficult to actually do it.

Sincerely caring about others isn’t just a matter of being nice and agreeable. In fact, when you truly care you often must disagree, even if it would be much easier to just be nice.

There are times when the most loving and compassionate thing you can say is no. There are times when the most respectful and considerate response is to disagree.

Challenging people to do their best is much more empowering than letting them get by with halfhearted efforts. Helping people to become self sufficient is much more generous than letting them become dependent on your generosity, though it is also much more difficult.

Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do for someone is to hold that person accountable. One of the most valuable things you can give to another person is the opportunity, difficult as it may be, to grow stronger, more capable and more dependable.

The world cries out for caring people, yet merely being nice and generous is not enough. Care enough to respect, to positively challenge, to insist on nothing less than the best, and permanently raise those you care about to a higher level of living.
